I have decided to take a challenge not only for me but for millions of people who have been impacted directly and indirectly by cancer and to help to celebrate more birthdays. I am participating in my very first half-marathon (13.1 miles) ING DetermiNation Miami – Ft Lauderdale Team and fundraise $1,600 for the American Cancer Society.

I’m hoping you’ll join me in fighting back against cancer. Don’t worry, you don’t have to sign up for a race! You can support my efforts by visiting my personal page http://main.acsevents.org/goto/sharazrefal and making a tax deductible donation of whatever amount you can. Your donation will help the American Cancer Society save lives by helping people stay well, helping people get well, by finding cures, and by fighting back. If you like to use a check please make it out to “American Cancer Society”.

Thanks to the generosity of people like you, 11 million cancer survivors are celebrating another birthday this year. I’m pretty excited to be a part of this DetermiNation team – and I’m grateful to have people like you in my life who care about changing the course of cancer forever!

Thank you for your generosity and support!

Warm regards,

Sharaz Refal
